I'm a bit confused. Many of the British light cruisers classes of that era look almost the same...:headscratch:

Yep, or Quebec. I found the same photo here: http://www.naval-history.net/Photo06clUganda1NP.jpg

If you right-click on the original photo, the ship's name is in the file name.

My regards,
